Call it back, it could be a Nigerian prince with some spare cash to hide....

or a phone redirected through the UK: http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/view.php?pg=fw_personal_nos

If you're on a mobile have a hunt for a free security program, Norton Avast, Lookout etc that offer number blocking and just block it.

If you're an Android, can't you add it as a contact and then block it?

That would probably be the sensible efficient thing to do, which is why I didn't mention it...... :doh:

i have no problems blocking it, im more interested in who is calling me :P tho just tried on my work phone, and it blocked the call, which would indicate its a service that costs money.

Nice link Jamin, not seen that one before and it's a useful page, thank you!   :thumbsup:

Perfectly fits the number too, scam alert!
